procedure question

I am trying to replace subroutine &local procedure in my RPGLE program to create a module. In my RPGLE I have a subroutine and use a local procedure to return the value 
 of AgentNmber(AGENOQ). I wrote a module  to combine both subroutine and local procedure into one and trying to return same agent no. I get the error
"the type of factor 2 is not the same as as the type of return value of procedure"" in the code  (return AgentNOQ ; ) . Please help to correct the error.                                                       
                                                                  
  



 My RPGLE:
                                                                 begsr @NewAgentNo;                                         
                                                           
 // local procedure newAgentNumber allocates the next Agent


 eAgentNo = newAgentNumber(eBrandCode:eProductCode) ;  

endsr;
   

 p newAgentNumber...                                       
 p                 b                                       
                                                           
 d                 pi            11s 0

 d product                        3a   value

   if not %open(CVSFile) ;                                  
      open CVSFile ;                                        
   endif ;                                                 
  
   chain(e) (brand:product) CVSFile ;                       
   dow %status(CVSFile) = 1218 ;                                   
       chain(e) (brand:product) CVSFile ;                          
   enddo ;                                                         
                                                                  
  
   if %found(CVSFile) ;                                            
      AGENOQ += 1 ;                                               
      update RCVSFile ;
